By the way, in vertebrates, nerves are extended from the spinal cord, which is connected to the brain and passes through the vertebrae of the spinal column, to the whole body, and controls the functions of tissues and organs of the body. Nerves regulate body temperature by, for example, constricting and expanding capillaries according to the environment, and adapt the body to changes in the environment.

In vertebrates, the body temperature is regulated evenly on the left and right by nerves, so that the body surface temperature also appears evenly on the left and right. Therefore, if the body surface temperature is uneven on the left and right, it is considered that there is some abnormality in nerve function and the condition is unhealthy. For example, the temperature difference between the left side body surface temperature and the right side body surface temperature (hereinafter referred to as "each side body surface temperature") of the left and right sides of the spinal column is information on the nerve passing through the vertebrae in proportion to the displacement of the vertebrae. This is a phenomenon that occurs as a result of disturbance in transmission, a difference in the activity of the internal organs and muscles controlled by this nerve, and an imbalance in the surface temperature of each side of the left and right sides of the spinal column.

You can easily observe how big it is.

From the temperature difference TΔ between the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr of the spinal column 11, the activity state of the autonomic nerve of the vertebrate 1 can be known. The left body surface temperature Tl and the right body surface temperature Tr of the spinal column 11 of the vertebrate 1 are controlled by the same nerve. If the nerve is functioning normally, the temperature difference TΔ between the left body surface temperature Tl and the right body surface temperature Tr becomes small, and the line approaches the center line C of the spinal column 11.
The spinal column 11 sandwiched between the surfaces of the left and right sides of the body has twists and deviations in proportion to the magnitude of the temperature difference TΔ between the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr. This twist or misalignment is likely to impair nerve function. In addition, the nerves that control the surface temperature of each side of the left and right sides of the spinal column 11 are basically connected by nerves that move muscles and nerves that move internal organs.
From this, the temperature difference TΔ between the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr of the spinal column 11 is an index indirectly indicating the abnormality of the muscle function and the internal function caused by the abnormality of the nerve function. For this reason, the spinal column 11 is adjusted by manipulative treatment or the like to eliminate twisting and displacement of the vertebrae, and by balancing the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr in the portion where the temperature difference TΔ is large, in other words, the temperature difference. By reducing the temperature difference TΔ so that the line representing TΔ approaches the center line C of the spinal column 11, it is possible to eliminate the disturbance of nerve signal transmission and normalize the functions of muscles and internal organs.
In the screen W4 of the "measurement work execution" shown in FIG. 5, the temperature difference TΔ13s of the vertebrae below the thoracic vertebra 13 is larger than that of the other vertebrae, so that the vertebrae below the thoracic vertebrae 13 are twisted or displaced. Etc. can be sensed to exist. By adjusting the vertebrae below the thoracic vertebra 13 by manipulative treatment or the like to eliminate twisting and displacement, and by keeping the temperature difference TΔ13s within a small value (for example, 0.2 degrees) so as to approach the center line C of the spinal column 11. , It can eliminate the disturbance of nerve information transmission and normalize the function of muscles and internal organs.
Regarding the temperature difference TΔ between the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr of the spinal column 11, Johns Hopkins University, USA, Dr. According to a paper by Uematsu, it is announced that the temperature difference between the left side body surface temperature Tl and the right side body surface temperature Tr of the spinal column 11 is within 0.2 degrees in a healthy person.

Temperature difference position information It (12s) to It (15s) associated with each existing vertebral bone is generated, and each temperature difference TΔ (12s) to TΔ ( 15s) is the position corresponding to each vertebral bone existing in each measurement portion 12s to 15s of the spinal column 11, and the left side body surface temperature Tl (12s) to Tl (15s) and the right side body with respect to the center line C of the spinal column 11. The graph shape of the curve separated from each other on the higher side of the surface temperature Tr (12s) to Tr (15s) according to the magnitude of each temperature difference TΔ (12s) to TΔ (15s). Display on screen W4.
The displayed temperature difference between the left side body surface temperature Tl (12s) to Tl (15s) and the right side body surface temperature Tr (12s) to Tr (15s) of the spinal column 11 is TΔ (12s) to TΔ (15s) of the vertebrate 1. By observing as an index showing the health condition of the vertebrate, that is, a place where the line representing the temperature difference TΔ (12s) to TΔ (15s) is greatly separated from the center line C of the spinal column 11 (below the thoracic vertebra 13 in the screen W4 of FIG. 5). By observing the vertebrae where the temperature difference TΔ13s is large), it is possible to find out the vertebrae through which the nerves related to the unhealthy part (affected part) pass, and the vertebrae are distorted or displaced, and the health condition is judged. can do.
As a result, the health condition detection control device 5 of the vertebral animal 1 performs manipulative treatment, massage, etc. on the distorted / displaced vertebrae found from the temperature differences TΔ (12s) to TΔ (15s) to return the vertebrae to the normal position.
